Orange Peel Enamel Jewelry

I’ve tried enameling before and it’s NOT easy… Jenny, of Orange Peel Enamel, makes it look so easy! According to her etsy page, “Orange Peel” refers to a stage in the firing process of enameling, the point at which the enamel has softened and taken on an orange peel-like texture. The enamel is not yet fully “matured” (smoothed out), but is at a stage full of potential.

To see just how much potential she gives her pieces check out her etsy page to view some of her colorful enameled necklaces and rings. My personal favorite is her Mod Wire Chair necklace. It has such detail and I can only image the work that goes into something like that.

She was recently showing her pieces at Urban Craft Uprising and Crafty Wonderland in Portland, but if you missed her there, no worries. You can buy her pieces online or in 2 Seattle shops: 20Twenty and Laura Bee Designs (both in Ballard!). Or you can swing by I Heart Rummage on the first Sunday of the month at Chop Suey!

Oh and lastly, she is also a blogger (YAY!) so make sure to go there too!
